    Interesting. My count was done over a year ago in the NE, if I recall. Pennsylvania maybe? It was by no means a scientific study. Just my personal observations having not seen a lot of LW'S out in the wild...

    That's the lightweight divisions territory.

    Yes, in the tanker division. Not in the lightweight division...

    All the LW's I've seen in the NE have been reefers, I haven't seen too many tankers but the ones I have seen have all been full sized condos.

    I run a dedicated account out of Decatur, IN and Bellevue, OH that requires a LW truck. Other than the dedicated guys, there aren'tmany LW trucks in tanker.

    Take a bucket of water; first walk with it, then run with it... See the difference

    So, if your from the NE (me) and you end up going with Prime, I'd probably get one of those lightweight trucks? And can you tell me about the 57mph thing - Would I get a truck governed at that speed or is it just if I set it at 57-58, I'd get a bonus? Just wondering. I don't have a problem just doing 57mph for a little extra $$
